Step-by-Step Guide on Adding dpClothing to Your Server

To successfully integrate dpClothing and add the toggle features for gloves, vests, and bags, follow these steps carefully.

Step 1: Download dpClothing

1. Visit the Fivemania asset store and navigate to the dpClothing section.
2. Download the latest version of dpClothing.
3. Extract the files to a location on your computer.

Step 2: Import Files to Your Server

1. Locate Your Server Resources Folder: Navigate to the resources directory of your FiveM server installation.
2. Create a New Folder: Inside the resources folder, create a new folder named dpClothing.
3. Upload Files: Copy the downloaded dpClothing files into the dpClothing folder.

Step 3: Configure fxmanifest.lua

To ensure dpClothing functions correctly, you will need to configure the fxmanifest.lua file. This file is critical for defining the metadata of your resource.

1. Open the fxmanifest.lua file located in the dpClothing folder.
2. Ensure the content resembles the following (adjust as necessary):

   fx_version 'cerulean'
   game 'gta5'
   
   author 'YourName'
   description 'Clothing script for FiveM with toggle options'
   version '1.0'
   
   client_scripts {
     'client.lua',
     'config.lua'
   }
   

3. Save the changes.

Step 4: Edit server.cfg

Once your resource files are in place, you need to enable dpClothing in your server's configuration.

1. Open the server.cfg file located in the main directory of your server.
2. Add the following line at the end of the file:

   start dpClothing
   

3. Save the changes and restart your server.

Step 5: Configure clothing options

The next step is to set up the specific clothing options within the config.lua file.

1. Locate config.lua in the dpClothing folder.
2. Edit the file to customize the toggleable clothing items. For example:

   Config.ClothingItems = {
     Gloves = {"item_glove_1", "item_glove_2"},
     Vests = {"item_vest_1", "item_vest_2"},
     Bags = {"item_bag_1", "item_bag_2"}
   }
   

3. Save your changes to config.lua.

Testing the Integration

After completing the previous steps, it's time to test whether the toggle gloves, vests, and bags function as expected.

Step 1: Join Your Server

1. Launch your FiveM client and connect to your server.
2. Open your character's inventory using the designated key (often M or F2).

Step 2: Toggle Clothing Items

1. Navigate to the dpClothing option in your inventory.
2. Test toggling between gloves, vests, and bags to ensure functionality.

If everything works as expected, congratulations! You have successfully added toggle gloves, vests, and bags to your FiveM server using dpClothing.
